To find the product of a reasonable estimate of two decimal numbers, round each decimals to the nearest whole number and then perform the multiplication.
For example:
3.2 x 5.7
Estimated answer
3.2 will be rounded down to 3 and 5.7 will be rounded up to 6
⇒ 3 x 6 = 18
Actual Answer
3.2 x 5.7
=18.24
No, because there are TWO values of y for a certain value of x
say x=5, then y=2 and y=-2
That does not satisfy the concept of the function.
1.25/20=1x
1.25x=20
x=20/1.25=16
1 inch=16 feet
Answer:
- width: 1.9 ft
- length: 2.3 ft
- height: 1.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectilinear shape is given by ...
V = W·L·H . . . . . where W, L, and H represent width, length, and height
Filling in the given information, we want to find a solution to ...
7.4 = x(x +0.4)(x -0.2)
If we write ...
f(x) = x(x +0.4)(x -0.2)
Then we're looking for the value of x that satisfies ...
f(x) -7.4 = 0
The attached graph shows that value to be 1.897, about 1.9 (feet). Then the desired kennel dimensions are ...
- width: 1.9 ft
- length: 2.3 ft
- height: 1.7 ft
